Mr. Netkin
I first viewed your site a little over a week ago. Let me say that it is very Ironic that a man who claims not to be a racist seem to have such a vendetta against M.E.Ch.A. In any case I am sure that you are very busy spreading your garbage, so I will make this message a short one. I wanted to address one particular issue, on your site you have a section titled M.E.Ch.A.'s Idea of Tolerance or something to that effect. I read the article and while I don't agree with the article I still support La Voz Fronteriza. On your site you challenge Mechistas to renounce the article, but when you click to the page to renounce the article you ask for something totally different. You ask us to denounce or renounce the Publication. Would you renounce the L.A. Times, Wall Street Journal or any other major publication, because you disagree with a particular article? Quit using smokescreen tactics to prove your point. I think that even you can agree that the average american is ahistorical, the school system has failed Jorge Martinez

=====================================
Mr. Withheld:
I have presented a mountain of evidence to support my claims that M.E.Ch.A. represents racism, separatism, and hatred (of America, "Gringos" and "Europeans"). Your insinuation that I am a racist is total conjecture. And yes, I would condemn the L.A. Times, Wall Street Journal or any other major publication if they ran an editorial like "Migra Pig." But since you bring up the confusion, I will clarify the challenge -- check it out tomorrow.
Tell me Mr. Withheld, were you in the forefront to defend CSUN's student newspaper, the Sundial, when in November of 1999, a group of Mechistas launched a protest against that campus paper over what it says was a harsh and insensitive editorial supporting a new state requirement that sets penalties for remedial freshmen who fail to catch up? Harsh and Insensitive? Nothing compared to "Migra Pig."
